What are you doing on Black Friday?

Black Fridays are for shopping. But from your computer and certainly not in a physical store IMHO. You could not pay me enough to go into a mass market store, no matter what low advertised price was in some ad. Maybe a small family owned one of a kind place, but not Best Buy, Walmart, etc.

I do very little shopping, but will take advantage of Black Friday sales if they are for something that I've been wanting. You usually don't have to wait until Black Friday to get bargains (relatively speaking). Usually you can find all the sales and get whatever you want bought and delivered before Black Friday even hits.

This year, I think I'm going to try to snag a Blackstone grill somewhere. We'll see if any of those go on sale. I've convinced myself that I desperately need one - despite having not even heard of one a year ago. Sigh...
 
I hope we are staying home. We don't have any plans to shop. My wife is more of a day-after-Christmas shopper, where she can take advantage of all the sales. I will do my usual mechanical work, and put a rear end in a recliner.
 
ONCE... As I recall when my kids were in middle school I took them early morning to a big box store.. Can't remember which one.. Just so they could see the mayhem of ..Black Friday.. They never wanted to do that again.. At least while they were under my roof.. At this point in life there isn't a thing I need to go to that again..

Hiding from people most likely.
 
Staying home inside our perimeter wire, with the gate locked closed with logging chain and padlock like it always is, 24/7/365.
My wife has always hated malls and will not go to one, for this I remain eternally grateful.

We haven't even needed to go grocery shopping for over a year now. Kroger delivers, even out on dirt roads like ours.
 
I've been out on Black Friday, but that was years and years ago. We'll still have some of our kids here visiting, so I'm sure we'll do something, but doubtful it'll be shopping. Maybe go visiting.
 
Depending on the weather this year, we plan on taking a little hike along the creek coming down the ridges around the campground. And have a nice fire most all day.
